Welcome

The Rehabilitation Research and Training Center (RRTC) on Aging with a Physical Disability works on research and training activities to better understand the challenges faced by people aging with muscular dystrophy (MD), multiple sclerosis (MS), post-polio syndrome (PPS), and spinal cord injury (SCI).

Information you'll find on this website includes:

  • Details about research studies we are conducting to find out more about symptoms and function as well as testing interventions for people who age into or with a physical disability. 
  • Research-based information for people aging into or with a physical disability.  
  • Peer-reviewed research publications authored by RRTC researchers.
